Whole-house cleanouts after a loss, a downsizing, or a move to assisted living. Patient, careful, and on your schedule.

  • Free quote
  • By appointment

Clearing a parent's or relative's home is hard work, and it is usually happening at a hard time. There is often a deadline from a sale, a lease, or a family member who flew in for one weekend. And there is a whole house of furniture, clothes, papers, and keepsakes to work through.

We work at your pace. Family takes what they want first, and you can mark items for an estate sale, a relative, or donation. We carry and haul everything else, room by room, and leave the house broom clean. We donate or recycle usable items when we can. If we find papers, photos, or anything that looks personal or valuable, we set it aside and ask.

  3. 3

    Pick a time

    We work by appointment. We confirm the day and anything to set aside.

  4. 4

    We load and haul

    You point, we carry and load from wherever it sits, sweep up, and haul it away.

What affects the cost

  • Size of the home and how full it is. A one-bedroom apartment and a full four-bedroom house are very different loads.
  • Number of truckloads. Larger estates often take more than one truckload, and sometimes more than one day.
  • Stairs, attics, and carry distance. Second floors, attic stairs, and long carries add labor.
  • Sorting with family. Working through items with family on the day takes longer than clearing pre-sorted rooms.
  • Disposal fees. Mattresses, tires, and appliances often carry extra disposal fees.

How to prepare

  • Have family take or tag items they want before the cleanout day.
  • Pull out papers, photos, jewelry, and anything with sentimental value.
  • Tell us if an estate sale is happening first, and when.
  • Send photos of each room, or a short walk-through video.
  • Share the deadline (closing, lease end, or listing date).
  • Tell us about building access, HOA rules, and parking.

What we do not take on this job

  • Paint, chemicals, pesticides, fuel, and propane tanks
  • Medications, sharps, and medical waste
  • Firearms and ammunition (please handle those separately)
  • Asbestos or anything we suspect contains it
  • Refrigerant appliances we cannot confirm will be handled properly

Plus everything on our not-accepted list below.

Texas and DFW notes

Medications and sharps

Leftover prescriptions and sharps should not go out with household junk. The DEA lists year-round drug take-back sites, and many pharmacies have drop boxes. Check with your pharmacy or city for the nearest option.

Out-of-town families

Many estate cleanouts in east DFW are arranged by family who live elsewhere. We can quote from photos or a video call, coordinate access with a realtor or neighbor, and send photos when the house is clear.

What we cannot take

We do not haul hazardous waste. If any of these are in the load, set them aside and check your city's household hazardous waste program.

  • Paint, stains, solvents, and thinners
  • Household and garden chemicals, pesticides, and pool chemicals
  • Gasoline, fuel, motor oil, and other automotive fluids
  • Propane tanks and other pressurized cylinders
  • Car and other lead-acid batteries
  • Asbestos, or materials we suspect contain asbestos
  • Medical waste, sharps, and medications
  • Ammunition, fireworks, and explosives
  • Refrigerators, freezers, and AC units, unless we confirm first that the refrigerant will be handled properly

Federal EPA rules (40 CFR 82.155) require the refrigerant in appliances like refrigerators, freezers, and window AC units to be recovered, or its recovery verified, before the unit is finally disposed of. That is why we confirm before taking them. This list is our company policy. Not sure about an item? Ask before the visit.

Common questions

Can family take items first?

Yes. Family should take what they want before the cleanout. We can also work around a planned estate sale.

What happens to items that are still useful?

We donate or recycle usable items when we can.

What if you find papers or valuables?

We set aside papers, photos, and anything that looks personal or valuable, and we ask before anything goes.

Can you work with an out-of-town family?

Yes. We quote from photos or video, coordinate access, and send photos when we finish.

How long does an estate cleanout take?

Most homes take one day. Very full houses can take more than one day or several truckloads. We tell you in the quote.

Do you clean the house after?

We leave each room broom clean. We do not do deep cleaning.

Do you take medications?

No. Please use a pharmacy drop box or a drug take-back site.
